Apex Edge - Session Sweep ProApex Edge Session Sweep Pro
By Apex Edge | 2025 Edition
🔍 What is it?
The Apex Session Sweep Pro is a precision trading tool designed for identifying high-probability liquidity sweep entries during key global market sessions. It combines powerful sweep detection logic with dynamic candle colouring, session visualization, TP projections, and real-time alerts — all within a clean, performance-optimized Pine Script engine.
This is not your average session box indicator. This is Apex-grade.
⚙️ How it Works
The indicator detects session liquidity sweeps by tracking price action relative to previous session highs and lows. When a session high/low is swept (i.e., price breaches it and then closes in the opposite direction), it generates a signal:
Buy Signal → Price sweeps previous low and closes back above it
Sell Signal → Price sweeps previous high and closes back below it
Each session is boxed on the chart (Tokyo, London, New York, Sydney), color-coded, and dynamically labelled.
Upon detecting a valid sweep, the script:
Plots a small entry label (toggleable)
Projects up to 5 customizable TP levels
Coloured candles for visual trade direction
Alerts for Buy or Sell sweep signals (optional)
All elements are memory-managed and customizable to suit your trading style.
🧠 Key Features
✅ Smart Sweep Detection Logic
✅ Global Market Session Boxes (Custom Times)
✅ Toggleable Entry Labels + TP Levels
✅ Candle Colouring by Signal
✅ Manual TP input + TP toggles
✅ Real-time Alerts for Apex entries
🕒 Why Are My Sessions Offset?
Your chart’s time zone may be different from UTC. This script is UTC-based by design, so if your chart is set to UTC+1, for example, the sessions will appear one hour later. Either:
Adjust your chart to UTC or or Exchange for perfect alignment,
Or tweak the session input times manually.
🧰 Who is this for?
This tool is made for:
Intraday traders looking for sweeps into liquidity
SMC (Smart Money Concept) strategists
Forex, crypto, and indices traders
Anyone who uses session-based levels to define entries
Whether you scalp London or ride NY swings, this tool frames each session cleanly — and shows you where the traps are laid.

CPR-Based Fib S/R with Circles by Arthavidhi📌 **CPR-Based Fibonacci S/R with Circles – Description**
This indicator combines the power of **CPR (Central Pivot Range)** and **Fibonacci ratios** to plot highly probable intraday and swing Support/Resistance levels derived from the **daily price structure**.
### 🧠 **How It Works**
* It uses the **Daily High, Low, and Close** to calculate the **Pivot Point** (P) as:
`P = (High + Low + Close) / 3`
* Then it calculates the **daily range**:
`Range = High - Low`
* Using this pivot and range, it derives both **Fibonacci-based Support and Resistance levels**:
* **Support levels** at: 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 1.0, 1.272, 1.618 below pivot
* **Resistance levels** at: 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 1.0, 1.272, 1.618 above pivot
These are **plotted as small colored circles** on your chart, with **labels on the left** for easy identification of each Fib level (e.g., "0.382", "1.618").
---
### 📈 **How to Use It**
🔹 **Intraday or Swing Traders**:
* Use these levels to **anticipate reversals**, **breakouts**, or **targets**.
* The levels act like a **natural price magnet** — price tends to pause, bounce, or reverse near them.
🔹 **Entry/Exit Zones**:
* Combine with price action (like pin bars, engulfing, or inside bars) or volume near these levels to plan entries.
* **R1.618 and S1.618** are great for extended targets or aggressive reversal setups.
🔹 **CPR Center Line**:
* Acts as a key mean-reversion zone or midline. You can combine this with VWAP or RSI for confirmation.
---
### 🧩 **Best Practices**
* **Higher Timeframe Confluence**: Align this with HTF S/R or trendlines.
* **Use Alerts**: Combine this with price action alerting tools (manually or with separate indicators).
* **Do Not Use Alone**: For best results, combine with a strategy (e.g., Supply/Demand, VWAP bounce, Trendline breaks).
Percentage SDThis TradingView indicator, called "Percentage SD," measures how much the price of an asset is fluctuating (its volatility) and shows this as a percentage.
You can choose which price to track (like the closing price) and the period over which to measure this volatility.
The indicator then draws a yellow line in a separate panel below your main chart. When this line is higher, it means the price is more volatile relative to its current level. A lower line suggests less volatility. This can help you see when price movements are becoming more or less active.
0830-0845 High/Low Marker (Accurate Start + History)This indicator marks the high and low of the 15-minute candle between 08:30 and 08:45 (local time) of the trading session. The high and low are tracked dynamically, with the lines drawn once the 08:45 candle closes.
Key Features:
Session-based Tracking: Automatically tracks and records the high and low of the 15-minute period starting at 08:30 and ending at 08:45.
Excludes 08:45 High : If a high is created exactly at 08:45, the indicator will ignore it and use the highest value before 08:45, ensuring it only references the price action during the specified window.
Line Extension : The high and low lines are drawn and extended to the right for a user-defined number of bars, making them visible beyond the session's close.
Customizable Parameters : Adjust the start and end times of the session, line colors, and line width to fit your preferences.
Use Case :
Ideal for traders who focus on the price action during the early part of the trading session (08:30 to 08:45) and want to track significant levels of support and resistance from that period.
The extended lines help identify potential price zones for the rest of the session or the trading day.
Time-based LiquidityThis indicator automatically marks important time-based liquidity levels on your chart, helping you stay aware of where major price reactions may occur and the market is forced to show its hand.
Key Features:
Previous Month’s, Week’s, and Day’s Highs and Lows: Displays PMH/PML, PWH/PWL, and PDH/PDL — key reference points where liquidity often accumulates.
Intraday Session Highs and Lows: Divides the trading day into quarters (00:00–06:00, 06:00–12:00, etc. following Day’s Quarterly Theory) and tracks session highs and lows dynamically across these periods.
Current Session 90-Minute Quarters: Splits the active session into 90-minute intervals to highlight short-term liquidity structures and potential reaction zones.
Level Alerts: Tracks when each liquidity level is reached and enables customizable alerts so you don’t miss important price movements.
Use Case:
This tool provides an organized, time-based framework for identifying where liquidity is likely to concentrate across different timeframes and intraday cycles. Use these levels for forming bias, planning entries, exits, or anticipating price reactions at key points in the market structure.
Customization Options:
Enable/disable liquidity levels to display (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Sessions, Session Quarters)
Customize the appearance of each level (color, style, line width)
Enable or disable tracking and alerts for level interactions
Moving Volume-Weighted Avg Price, % Channel, BBsThis script includes:
- Moving Volume-Weighted Average Price line.
- User-defined % band above and below, very useful for "breakout" signals, and mentally adjusting to the magnitude of price swings when viewing an automatic scale on the price axis.
- Volume-Weighted Bollinger Bands, which are more sensitive to volume.
More detail:
- This is like TV's basic VWAP in concept, except the major flaw in that is that it has reset periods that you can't override, and the volume is cumulative until the next hard reset. The 'reset' is OK for securities trading, that resets every day anyway. But not for crypto - and not if/when securities trading goes 24/7. Also, the denominator accumulating over the entire period is also *not* OK, because then what is shown means something different as the day progresses - which kind of makes it useless. In other words, it starts out very sensitive to volume, and gets progressively more numb to it as they day progresses, and starts flattening out.
- This fixes both problems, by using a user-definable moving window for the average. Essentially combining SMA with volume-weighting.
- You may also find an invaluable trading aid, in the % bands above and below.
- What can optionally be shown is standard deviation bands, aka Bollinger bands. The advantage over regular BB is that it's volume-weighted. Since it is already calculated on a moving average, the period for the standard deviation has been shortened by default, and the magnitude increased, to better approximate regular Bollinger Bands - but it's still more responsive to volume.
Volumetric Entropy IndexVolumetric Entropy Index (VEI)
A volume-based drift analyzer that captures directional pressure, trend agreement, and entropy structure using smoothed volume flows.
---
🧠 What It Does:
• Volume Drift EMAs : Shows buy/sell pressure momentum with adaptive smoothing.
• Dynamic Bands : Bollinger-style volatility wrappers react to expanding/contracting drift.
• Baseline Envelope : Clean structural white rails for mean-reversion zones or trend momentum.
• Background Shading : Highlights when both sides (up & down drift) are in agreement — green for bullish, red for bearish.
• Alerts Included : Drift alignment, crossover events, net drift shifts, and strength spikes.
---
🔍 What Makes It Different:
• Most volume indicators rely on bars, oscillators, or OBV-style accumulation — this doesn’t.
• It compares directional EMAs of raw volume to isolate real-time bias and acceleration.
• It visualizes the twisting tension between volume forces — not just price reaction.
• Designed to show when volatility is building inside the volume mechanics before price follows.
• Modular — every element is optional, so you can run it lean or fully loaded.
---
📊 How to Use It:
• Drift EMAs : Watch for one side consistently dominating — sharp spikes often precede breakouts.
• Bands : When they tighten and start expanding, it often signals directional momentum forming.
• Envelope Lines : Use as high-probability reversal or continuation zones. Bands crossing envelopes = potential thrust.
• Background Color : Green/red backgrounds confirm volume agreement. Can be used as a filter for other signals.
• Net Drift : Optional smoothed oscillator showing the difference between bullish and bearish volume pressure. Crosses above or below zero signal directional bias shifts.
• Drift Strength : Measures pressure buildup — spikes often correlate with large moves.
---
⚙️ Full Customization:
• Turn every layer on/off independently
• Modify all colors, transparencies, and line widths
• Adjust band width multiplier and envelope offset (%)
• Toggle bonus plots like drift strength and net baseline
---
🧪 Experimental Tools:
• Smoothed Net Drift trace
• Drift Strength signal
• Envelope lines and dynamic entropy bands with adjustable math

Granville's 8 Rules Visualizer 🧠 Granville’s 8 Rules Indicator
I’ve created a Pine Script indicator that visually implements **Granville’s Eight Rules**, one of the foundational theories for price movement relative to a moving average (MA). This tool helps traders better time entries and exits based on momentum shifts and MA behavior.
---
### 📈 What is Granville’s Law?
Joseph Granville’s theory suggests that **price and moving average (typically SMA)** interactions produce **8 recurring signals**:
* **4 Buy signals** (B1–B4)
* **4 Sell signals** (S1–S4)
These rules help identify the beginning or continuation of bullish and bearish trends.
---
### 🔍 Indicator Logic
This indicator uses a simple 20-period SMA (modifiable) and tracks price action in relation to it. Each signal is drawn as a triangle with a label (`B1` to `B4` or `S1` to `S4`), based on the following rules:
#### ✅ Buy Signals:
* **B1**: Price crosses above a rising MA (classic breakout)
* **B2**: Price pulls back below a rising MA, then begins rising again
* **B3**: Price bounces off a falling MA
* **B4**: Price is above a rising MA but temporarily drops
#### ❌ Sell Signals:
* **S1**: Price crosses below a falling MA
* **S2**: Price pulls back above a falling MA, then starts dropping again
* **S3**: Price bounces down off a rising MA
* **S4**: Price is below a falling MA but temporarily rises
---
### 🛠 How to Use It:
1. **Trend Confirmation**: Use the moving average slope (rising or falling) as your trend filter.
2. **Entry Timing**: Look for Buy signals (B1–B4) in uptrends and Sell signals (S1–S4) in downtrends.
3. **Avoid Noise**: Combine with volume or volatility filters (e.g. ATR or squeeze) to eliminate weak setups.
4. **Customize**: Adjust the MA type or length to fit your market (e.g. EMA for crypto, SMA for FX).
---
### 💡 Example Strategies:
* Pair **B1 + rising volume** for early trend entries
* Use **B2/B4** for retracement-based entries
* Exit on **S3/S4** for profit taking or stop logic
Happy trading!

US Growth Momentum Index (UGMI)US Growth Momentum Index (UGMI) is a macroeconomic indicator designed to reflect the current economic health of the United States. The index combines four key economic factors—Industrial Production (INDPRO), Retail Sales (RSAFS), Unemployment Rate (UNRATE), and the 10Y-2Y Yield Curve Spread—and aggregates them into a single line representing overall growth momentum.
The UGMI is based on Z-Score calculations for each of these components, helping to identify whether the U.S. economy is in an expansionary growth phase or a contractionary recession phase.
How to Read the UGMI:
Core Growth Line (Blue): This is the main line representing the aggregated growth momentum. It is calculated using the Z-scores of the key economic indicators.
0 Line: The 0 line represents the neutral zone. If the UGMI is above the 0 line, it suggests that the economy is expanding. Below the 0 line indicates contraction or a potential recession.
Zones Above 1: When the UGMI is above 1, it represents a strong expansionary phase or boom, possibly signaling the top of a bull market or local peak.
Zones Below -1: When the UGMI falls below -1, it indicates a severe recession or significant contraction in the economy.
Color Coding:
Green: When the UGMI is above the 1 line, the background turns green, indicating a strong growth phase.
Red: When the UGMI is below -1, the background turns red, representing a recession or significant economic downturn.
This indicator helps traders and investors to understand whether the economy is growing or contracting, and is especially useful for identifying potential market tops or turning points.
Liquidity Sweep DetectorThe Liquidity Sweep Detector represents a technical analysis tool specifically designed to identify market microstructure patterns typically associated with institutional trading activity. According to Harris (2003), institutional traders frequently employ tactics where they momentarily break through price levels to trigger stop orders before redirecting the market in the opposite direction. This phenomenon, commonly referred to as "stop hunting" or "liquidity sweeping," constitutes a significant aspect of institutional order flow analysis (Osler, 2003). The current implementation provides retail traders with a means to identify these patterns, potentially aligning their trading decisions with institutional movements rather than becoming victims of such strategies.
Osler's (2003) research documents how stop-loss orders tend to cluster around significant price levels, creating concentrations of liquidity. Taylor (2005) argues that sophisticated institutional participants systematically exploit these liquidity clusters by inducing price movements that trigger these orders, subsequently profiting from the ensuing price reaction. The algorithmic detection of such patterns involves several key processes. First, the indicator identifies swing points—local maxima and minima—through comparison with historical price data within a definable lookback period. These swing points correspond to what Bulkowski (2011) describes as "significant pivot points" that frequently serve as liquidity zones where stop orders accumulate.
The core detection algorithm utilizes a multi-stage process to identify potential sweeps. For high sweeps, it monitors when price exceeds a previous swing high by a specified threshold percentage, followed by a bearish candle that closes below the original swing high level. Conversely, for low sweeps, it detects when price drops below a previous swing low by the threshold percentage, followed by a bullish candle closing above the original swing low. As noted by Lo and MacKinlay (2011), these price patterns often emerge when large institutional players attempt to capture liquidity before initiating significant directional moves.
The indicator maintains historical arrays of detected sweep events with their corresponding timestamps, enabling temporal analysis of market behavior following such events. Visual elements include horizontal lines marking sweep levels, background color highlighting for sweep events, and an information table displaying active sweeps with their corresponding price levels and elapsed time since detection. This visualization approach allows traders to quickly identify potential institutional activity without requiring complex interpretation of raw price data.
Parameter customization includes adjustable lookback periods for swing point identification, sweep threshold percentages for signal sensitivity, and display duration settings. These parameters allow traders to adapt the indicator to various market conditions and timeframes, as markets demonstrate different liquidity characteristics across instruments and periods (Madhavan, 2000).
Empirical studies by Easley et al. (2012) suggest that retail traders who successfully identify and act upon institutional liquidity sweeps may achieve superior risk-adjusted returns compared to conventional technical analysis approaches. However, as cautioned by Chordia et al. (2008), such patterns should be considered within broader market context rather than in isolation, as their predictive value varies significantly with overall market volatility and liquidity conditions.

Functionally Weighted Moving AverageOVERVIEW
An anchor-able moving average that weights historical prices with mathematical curves (shaping functions) such as Smoothstep , Ease In / Out , or even a Cubic Bézier . This level of configurability lends itself to more versatile price modeling, over conventional moving averages.
SESSION ANCHORS
Aside from VWAP, conventional moving averages do not allow you to use the first bar of each session as an anchor. This can make averages less useful near the open when price is sufficiently different from yesterdays close. For example, in this screenshot the EMA (blue) lags behind the sessionally anchored FWMA (yellow) at the open, making it slower to indicate a pivot higher.
An incrementing length is what makes a moving average anchor-able. VWAP is designed to do this, indefinitely growing until a new anchor resets the average (which is why it doesn't have a length parameter). But conventional MA's are designed to have a set length (they do not increment). Combining these features, the FWMA treats the length like a maximum rather than a set length, incrementing up to it from the anchor (when enabled).
Quick aside: If you code and want to anchor a conventional MA, the length() function in my UtilityLibrary will help you do this.
Incrementing an averages length introduces near-anchor volatility. For this reason, the FWMA also includes an option to saturate the anchor with the source , making values near the anchor more resistant to change. The following screenshot illustrates how saturation affects the average near the anchor when disabled (aqua) and enabled (fuchsia).
AVERAGING MATH
While there's nothing special about the math, it's worth documenting exactly how the average is affected by the anchor.
Average = Dot Product / Sum of Weights
Dot Product
This is the sum of element-wise multiplication between the Price and Weight arrays.
Dot Product = Price1 × Weight1 + Price2 × Weight2 + Price3 × Weight3 ...
When the Price and Weight arrays are equally sized (aka. the length is no longer incrementing from the anchor), there's a 1-1 mapping between Price and Weight indices. Anchoring, however, purges historical data from the Price array, making it temporarily smaller. When this happens, a dot product is synthesized by linearly interpolating for proportional indices (rather than a 1-1 mapping) to maintain the intended shape of weights.
Synthetic Dot Product = FirstPrice × FirstWeight + ... MidPrice × MidWeight ... + LastPrice × LastWeight
Sum of Weights
Exactly what it sounds like, the sum of weights used by the dot product operation. The sum of used weights may be less than the sum of all weights when the dot product is synthesized.
Sum of Weights = Weight1 + Weight2 + Weight3 ...
CALCULATING WEIGHTS
Shaping functions are mathematical curves used for interpolation. They are what give the Functionally Weighted Moving Average its name, and define how each historical price in the look back period is weighted.
The included shaping functions are:
Linear (conventional WMA)
Smoothstep (S curve)
Ease In Out (adjustable S curve)
Ease In (first half of Ease In Out)
Ease Out (second half of Ease In Out)
Ease Out In (eases out and then back in)
Cubic Bézier (aka. any curve you want)
In the following screenshot, the only difference between the three FWMA's is the shaping function (Ease In, Ease In Out, and Ease Out) illustrating how different curves can influence the responsiveness of an average.
And here is the same example, but with anchor saturation disabled .
ADJUSTING WEIGHTS
Each function outputs a range of values between 0 and 1. While you can't expand or shrink the range, you can nudge it higher or lower using the Scalar . For example, setting the scalar to -0.2 remaps to , and +0.2 remaps to . The following screenshot illustrates how -0.2 (lightest blue) and +0.2 (darkest blue) affect the average.
Easing functions can be further adjusted with the Degree (how much the shaping function curves). There's an interactive example of this here and the following illustrates how a degrees 0, 1, and 20 (dark orange, orange, and light orange) affect the average.
This level of configurability completely changes how a moving average models price for a given length, making the FWMA extremely versatile.
INPUTS
You can configure:
Length (how many historical bars to average)
Source (the bar value to average)
Offset (horizontal offset of the plot)
Weight (the shaping function)
Scalar (how much to adjust each weight)
Degree (how much to ease in / out)
Bézier Points (controls shape of Bézier)
Divisor & Anchor parameters
Style of the plot
BUT ... WHY?
We use moving averages to anticipate trend initialization, continuation, and termination. For a given look back period (length) we want the average to represent the data as accurately and smoothly as possible. The better it does this, the better it is at modeling price.
In this screenshot, both the FWMA (yellow) and EMA (blue) have a length of 9. They are both smooth, but one of them more accurately models price.
You wouldn't necessarily want to trade with these FWMA parameters, but knowing it does a better job of modeling price allows you to confidently expand the model to larger timeframes for bigger moves. Here, both the FWMA (yellow) and EMA (blue) have a length of 195 (aka. 50% of NYSE market hours).
INSPIRATION
I predominantly trade ETF derivatives and hold the position that markets are chaotic, not random . The salient difference being that randomness is entirely unpredictable, and chaotic systems can be modeled. The kind of analysis I value requires a very good pricing model.
The term "model" sounds more intimidating than it is. Math terms do that sometimes. It's just a mathematical estimation . That's it. For example, a regression is an "average regressing" model (aka. mean reversion ), and LOWESS (Locally Weighted Scatterplot Smoothing) is a statistically rigorous local regression .
LOWESS is excellent for modeling data. Also, it's not practical for trading. It's computationally expensive and uses data to the right of the point it's averaging, which is impossible in realtime (everything to the right is in the future). But many techniques used within LOWESS are still valuable.
My goal was to create an efficient real time emulation of LOWESS. Specifically I wanted something that was weighted non-linearly, was efficient, left-side only, and data faithful. Incorporate trading paradigms (like anchoring) and you get a Functionally Weighted Moving Average.
The formulas for determining the weights in LOWESS are typically chosen just because they seem to work well. Meaning ... they can be anything, and there's no justification other than "looks about right". So having a variety of functions (aka. kernels) for the FWMA, and being able to slide the weight range higher or lower, allows you to also make it "look about right".
William Cleveland, prominent figure in statistics known for his contributions to LOWESS, preferred using a tri-cube weighting function. Using Weight = Ease Out In with the Degrees = 3 is comparable to this. Enjoy!

CRT Finder (WanHakimFX)📈 Liquidity Grab Indicator with MTF Confluence & Alerts
🔍 Overview:
The Liquidity Grab Indicator is designed to detect precise moments when price sweeps liquidity — either by wicking below recent lows (bullish LQH) or above recent highs (bearish LQL) — followed by a clear rejection. It combines this logic with multi-timeframe confirmation and trend filters, making it a powerful tool for identifying high-probability reversal setups.
⚙️ How It Works:
✅ Liquidity Sweep Logic (LQH / LQL)
Bullish (LQH):
Current candle wicks below the previous low
Closes above the previous candle body
Confirms potential bullish reversal
Bearish (LQL):
Current candle wicks above the previous high
Closes below the previous candle body
Confirms potential bearish reversal
✅ Additional Conditions:
Must occur during London or New York sessions.
Requires trend confluence:
LQH = Price must be above SMMA 60/100/200
LQL = Price must be below SMMA 60/100/200
🧠 Multi-Timeframe Confluence:
The indicator scans for LQH/LQL sweeps across:
Daily
4H
1H
30M
15M
If a sweep occurs on any of these timeframes, an alert is triggered and a triangle marker appears on the chart for real-time visual confluence.
📊 Visual Features:
Green/Red labels for active timeframe sweeps.
Dotted wick lines to show liquidity zones from the previous candle.
Colored triangle markers for MTF sweep alerts.
🛠 Strategy Usage:
This indicator is best used as a trigger tool in a confluence-based strategy:
Use higher-timeframe MTF LQH/LQL markers for directional bias.
Wait for matching sweep on your entry timeframe (e.g., M1/M5).
Enter on confirmation candle or break of structure.
Target imbalances, FVGs, or previous highs/lows.
Risk-managed entries using sweep candle's high/low as stop.
📢 Alerts:
✅ Bullish Sweep (LQH) on any timeframe
✅ Bearish Sweep (LQL) on any timeframe
Hybrid Swing/Day Alert System - PLATINUM EditionThis indicator is a complete trading assistant designed for crypto swing and day traders, built to identify high-probability long and short setups based on a multi-confirmation system.
Strategy Logic
The system scans and confirms entries only when 6 major confluences align:

Max Trend Points [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
A clean and powerful tool for identifying major trend shifts and quantifying the strength of each move using dynamically calculated price extremes.
This indicator helps traders visualize the most significant trend changes by plotting trend direction lines and dynamically tracking the highest or lowest point within each trend leg. It’s ideal for identifying key price impulses and measuring their magnitude in real time.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Uses an adaptive trend-following logic based on volatility envelopes created from HMA of the price range (high - low).
Identifies trend direction and flips when price breaks above or below these dynamic envelopes.
Tracks swing highs and lows within the current trend leg to highlight trend extremes.
Calculates and displays the percentage gain or drop from trend start to trend peak/valley.
🔵 FEATURES
Trend Shift Detection:
Plots a colored trend line (uptrend or downtrend) that updates based on price action volatility.
Impulse Mapping:
Draws a dashed line between the point of trend change (close) and the current trend leg's extreme (highest high or lowest low).
Percentage Labeling:
Displays a floating label showing the exact percent change from the trend start to the current extreme.
Real-Time Adjustments:
As the trend progresses, the extreme point and the percent label update automatically to reflect new highs/lows.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Look for the trend color shift and circular marker to identify a new potential trend direction.
Use the dashed lines and percent label to evaluate the strength and potential maturity of each move.
Combine this tool with support/resistance levels or other indicators to identify confluence zones.
Adjust the "Factor" input to make the trend detection more or less sensitive depending on your timeframe.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Max Trend Points is an efficient visual indicator for understanding the structure and magnitude of trending moves. It provides essential feedback on how far a trend has traveled, where momentum may be peaking, and when a shift may be underway—all with real-time adaptability and clean presentation.
Supertrend + Stochastic RSIThe Supertrend + Stochastic RSI indicator is designed for scalping and short-term trading, combining the trend-following power of the Supertrend with the momentum insights of the Stochastic RSI to generate reliable buy and sell signals. This indicator aims to reduce false signals by requiring confirmation from both trend direction and momentum, making it suitable for traders targeting quick, high-probability trades in fast-moving markets on lower timeframes (e.g., 1-minute to 15-minute charts).
How It Works
The indicator integrates two technical components to produce actionable signals:
Supertrend for Trend Direction:
The Supertrend, calculated with a default length of 10 and a factor of 3.0, identifies the prevailing trend. It plots a line above or below the price, turning green when the trend is bullish (price above Supertrend) and red when bearish (price below Supertrend). This helps traders stay aligned with the market’s direction, reducing trades against the trend.
Stochastic RSI for Momentum Confirmation:
The Stochastic RSI, computed over a 14-period RSI with 3-period smoothing for %K and %D lines, measures momentum. A buy signal is generated when the %K line crosses above the oversold level (default: 20), indicating potential upward momentum, while a sell signal occurs when %K crosses below the overbought level (default: 80), suggesting downward momentum.
Signal Generation
Signals are produced only when both conditions align, using the previous bar’s values to prevent repainting:
Buy Signal: The Stochastic RSI %K crosses above the oversold level, and the Supertrend confirms a bullish trend (price above Supertrend). Displayed as a green upward triangle below the bar.
Sell Signal: The Stochastic RSI %K crosses below the overbought level, and the Supertrend confirms a bearish trend (price below Supertrend). Displayed as a red downward triangle above the bar.

Daily Price RangeThe indicator is designed to analyze an instrument’s volatility based on daily extremes (High-Low) and to compare the current day’s range with the typical (median) range over a selected period. This helps traders assess how much of the "usual" daily movement has already occurred and how much may still be possible during the trading day.
Adaptive Volume-Weighted RSI (AVW-RSI)Concept Summary
The AVW-RSI is a modified version of the Relative Strength Index (RSI), where each price change is weighted by the relative trading volume for that period. This means periods of high volume (typically driven by institutions or “big money”) have a greater influence on the RSI calculation than periods of low volume.
Why AVW-RSI Helps Traders
Avoids Weak Signals During Low Volume
Standard RSI may show overbought/oversold zones even during low-volume periods (e.g., during lunch hours or after news).
AVW-RSI gives less weight to these periods, avoiding misleading signals.
Amplifies Strong Momentum Moves
If RSI is rising during high volume, it's more likely driven by institutional buying—AVW-RSI reflects that stronger by weighting the RSI component.
Filters Out Retail Noise
By prioritizing high-volume candles, it naturally discounts fakeouts caused by thin markets or retail-heavy moves.
Highlights Institutional Entry/Exit
Useful for spotting hidden accumulation/distribution that classic RSI would miss.
How It Works (Calculation Logic)
Traditional RSI Formula Recap
RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
RS = Average Gain / Average Loss (over N periods)
Modified Step – Apply Volume Weight
For each period
Gain_t = max(Close_t - Close_{t-1}, 0)
Loss_t = max(Close_{t-1} - Close_t, 0)
Weight_t = Volume_t / AvgVolume(N)
WeightedGain_t = Gain_t * Weight_t
WeightedLoss_t = Loss_t * Weight_t
Weighted RSI
AvgWeightedGain = SMA(WeightedGain, N)
AvgWeightedLoss = SMA(WeightedLoss, N)
RS = AvgWeightedGain / AvgWeightedLoss
AVW-RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
Visual Features on Chart
Line Color Gradient
Color gets darker as volume weight increases, signaling stronger conviction.
Overbought/Oversold Zones
Traditional: 70/30
Suggested AVW-RSI zones: Use dynamic thresholds based on historical volatility (e.g., 80/20 for high-volume coins).
Volume Spike Flags
Mark RSI turning points that occurred during volume spikes with a special dot/symbol.
Trading Strategies with AVW-RSI
1. Weighted RSI Divergence
Regular RSI divergence becomes more powerful when volume is high.
AVW-RSI divergence with volume spike is a strong signal of reversal.
2. Trend Confirmation
RSI crossing above 50 during rising volume is a good entry signal.
RSI crossing below 50 with high volume is a strong exit or short trigger.
3. Breakout Validation
Price breaking resistance + AVW-RSI > 60 with volume = Confirmed breakout.
Price breaking but AVW-RSI < 50 or on low volume = Potential fakeout.
Example Use Case
Stock XYZ is approaching a resistance zone. A trader sees:
Standard RSI: 65 → suggests strength.
Volume is 3x the average.
AVW-RSI: 78 → signals strong momentum with institutional backing.
The trader enters confidently, knowing this isn't just low-volume hype.
Limitations / Tips
Works best on liquid assets (Forex majors, large-cap stocks, BTC/ETH).
Should be used alongside price action and volume analysis—not standalone.
Periods of extremely high volume (news events) might need smoothing to avoid spikes.
